A protein-packed, creamy egg scramble made with fluffy eggs and cottage cheese—quick, nutritious, and perfect for breakfast or a post-workout meal.

Scale

4 large eggs

1/2 cup cottage cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tbsp butter or oil for the pan

Optional add-ins: chopped spinach, tomatoes, scallions, shredded cheese, or hot sauce

1. Crack eggs into a bowl, add cottage cheese, and whisk together until well combined.

2. Heat butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

3. Pour egg mixture into the pan and let cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds.

4. Gently stir and fold the eggs until just set and creamy, about 2–3 minutes.

5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Add any optional toppings or mix-ins just before serving.

Use full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese depending on your texture preference.

For a firmer texture, cook slightly longer, but avoid overcooking.

Serve with toast, avocado, or fresh fruit for a balanced breakfast.
